2014 was a spectacular year for playwright Simon Stephens, who has
been described by the Independent as 'a brilliant writer of immense
imagination' and by the Financial Times as having 'emerged in this
millennium as an outstanding playwright'. 2014 was a year for Simon
Stephens which featured a high number of world premiere plays
including one for the theatre of his birthplace, Manchester's Royal
Exchange, a major new play for the Downstairs space at London's
Royal Court, and a Chekhov translation for London's Young Vic; a
transfer of his West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Night-Time to Broadway; and projects in Germany, a country which
has seen Stephens lauded, in which he has worked extensively, and
which has shaped much of his dramaturgy. In addition to these major
projects, Stephens continued his role as a mentor of young writers,
actors and directors, and continued to be one of the most frequent,
outspoken and fiercely intelligent voices of the playwriting scene.
In an exceptionally honest account, Simon Stephens opens up to us,
through daily diary entries, his working practices, his inner-most
thoughts, his philosophy on theatre, the arts and politics, and his
feelings and reactions to specific projects he has worked on.
Through this, we are given unprecedented access to the mind of one
of the most important playwrights of the twenty-first century.
